What Does it Cost to Talk With an Attorney to Find Out If I Have a Wrongful Death Case?

It shouldn’t cost you anything to speak with an attorney to figure out if you have a legitimate wrongful death case. Many law firms work on commission and don’t seek any fees until the case has successfully concluded. Review with your attorney exactly when and how much you will be charged for his or her services.

What Will It Take To Win A Wrongful Death Case?

Many of our clients focus on the financial aspects of an Illinois wrongful death lawsuit. For instance, their initial concern is often how much they can obtain through a suit. Then, they would like to know what it will cost them to obtain that recovery. These issues are not out of left field. The point of litigation is to extract reimbursement and recovery. It is not designed to be an altogether enjoyable or painless process. However, at this juncture, we like to remind clients of the process itself. In other words, what an Illinois wrongful death lawsuit entails beyond the financial dimensions. We think this gives them a better understanding and expectation of this field of law.

What Is The Process Of A Wrongful Death Case?

The process normally starts off with a fairly exhaustive factual and legal investigation. No stone is left unturned and no legal theory is dismissed at the onset. Then, after all of the facts have been gathered, your counsel needs to marshal all relevant points into a complaint in order to demonstrate injury and grounds for recovery. After that, the lawsuit ensues and your lawyer will make your case through court presentations and filed documents. At that point, it will normally either short-circuit into settlement or go to a jury for its decision.

How Does Settlement Differ From Trial?

A lot of people get confused about settlement and trial especially with wrongful death lawsuits. They fail to grasp the procedural and practical differences between the two case paths. Settlement resembles private negotiations. Trial resembles the typical case that you may be familiar with from popular culture. Circumstances will dictate which one is more available and convenient for you. However, choosing either one of them will have significant consequences on your suit and potential recovery. Settlement might end the case quicker and allow you to move on but it could also reduce your total recovery. Thus, it is important to choose wisely and discuss the decision with a qualified Chicago personal injury attorney.

How Much Should Competent Counsel Should Cost?

The goal of any lawyer in a wrongful death case should be to get the victim to recovery and to move on. The legal system is not an end unto itself; rather, it is a means to an end, to end the drama that began with the death of a loved one. Part of this involves cost. If a lawyer racks up too many expenses, charges too high of a commission, or does not deliver quality counsel, then it can detract from that goal. It shouldn’t cost you anything to speak with an attorney in an initial consultation. However, there will be natural charges that arise in any case. To learn what you could receive through litigation and what that it will cost, speak with our team of Chicago personal injury attorneys.

Testimonials

“Too many lawyers try pass you off to another person in their office to answer questions. Not Jonathan. I have already referred some family members to Jonathan for their injury cases. I consider Jonathan both my lawyer and my friend.”- Annie

Jonathan Rosenfeld was professionally objective, timely, and knowledgeable. Also, his advice was extremely effective regarding my case. In addition, Jonathan was understanding and patient pertaining to any of my questions or concerns. I was very happy with the end result and I highly recommend Jonathan Rosenfeld. Michonne Proulx

★★★★★

Extremely impressed with this law firm. They took control of a bad motorcycle crash that left my uncle seriously injured. Without any guarantee of a financial recovery, they went out and hired accident investigators and engineers to help prove how the accident happened. I am grateful that they worked on a contingency fee basis as there was no way we could have paid for these services on our own. Ethan Armstrong

★★★★★

This lawyer really helped me get compensation for my motorcycle accident case. I know there is no way that I could have gotten anywhere near the amount that Mr. Rosenfeld was able to get to settle my case. Thank you. Daniel Kaim

Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother's death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial. Lisa
